Hopefully you won't mind turning a few screws and experimenting for yourself.
Next best thing you can do is READ, READ, READ and make your own decisions.

Don't know how a turbo works? READ!
Wanna' put a 3200 governor spring in? READ!

Don't just lose faith and go buy what the first hawker tells you to, STUDY AND LEARN!

Mark.

Only item in my truck that is not stock is a 3200 spring. What a great addition. More responsive throttle, steady fueling all the way up through the RPMs. Hugh difference when towing a load as well. Just removing that stock governor spring which defuels early and has less than adequate fueling is the best bang for buck.

you can do many free things that will help your truck out, ( make shure it is getting full throttle, back out the throttle stop screw, give the power screw a turn or two, turn your stock fuel pin or grind it some, all this can easily give you 50 hp.

BUT BE FORWARNED LIKE MARK SAID DO YOUR RESEARCH AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR DOING FIRST.
